Johns Hopkins medical school cuts ties with ICE

Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine chose not to renew long-standing contracts to train U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, The Baltimore Sun reports.

The decision was publicly announced Sept. 19.

Johns Hopkins has provided ICE agents with emergency medical training since 2004. The medical school's contracts with the agency have brought in $7 million since 2008, according to the report.

The decision comes after student protesters called for Johns Hopkins to end its relationship with ICE, which students believe contradicts the school's progressive principles, according to the report.
